Despite an acting career that included nearly 100 credits and memorable roles over a 40-year span, Bill Paxton's cardboard credits are few.

He's got just eight certified autographs in two products.

The 61-year-old actor died this weekend after complications due to a surgery and that means many fans might be seeking a memento that they had meant to track down but hadn't done yet.

The green-tongued turnbuckle eater is gone.

George "The Animal" Steele, a veteran professional wrestler whose career ended during the 1980s peak of the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and was known for his appetite for mayhem has died. He was 79.

Born Jim Myers, he was a multi-sport star in high school and a football player for (and graduate of) Michigan State. He also earned a master's degree before he turned to professional wrestling in the 1960s -- all this while also working as a high school teacher and coach the entire time. (He's also a member of the state's football coaches hall of Fame.)

The Trading Cards are back -- and this time they are in packs.

Long-time readers of The Buzz probably remember California-based illustrator Cuyler Smith whose Trading Cards bring the stars of the reel world (memorable sports movies) to real life using nods to memorable sports card designs from the past.

He's back with a new show -- and a new wave of cardboard -- arriving on Friday.

The history books of professional wrestling are packed with stories about families that took part in the traveling caravan turned international spectacle -- a mere mention of names such as McMahon, Hart, Von Erich, Funk, Guerrero and so many more can mean so many names to those who know wrestling.

But there's one name -- Bevis -- that might become a household name in the future thanks to a feature film that's in the works and revealed this week from Seven Bucks Productions, which is a company helmed by Dwayne Johnson. He's a third-generation wrestling star you might know as The Rock and he's flexed plenty of muscle lately when it comes to entertainment ventures without ring ropes.

And who's Bevis? Thats Saraya-Jade Bevis, a WWE star from England who's known as Paige inside the ring and it's her story -- her family's story -- that's being developed into a movie. (Finally, we know what The Rock is cooking.)

It's not baseball but it's the first surprise in packs of 2017 Topps Series 1.

What you see here is an autograph of "Norman Dale" aka Gene Hackman, who was the coach of the Hickory High School basketball team in Hoosiers.

How rare will this autograph turn out to be? It's probably one of the toughest ones, though it was on the announced checklist for those who looked closely enough to spot the name. The card has parallels and a 1/1 Birch version just like others in the set -- but those aren't on peoples' minds just yet. Why? The first copy to hit eBay already has an impressive asking price.

Hackman had never signed a certified autograph before despite appearing on plenty of Topps Superman cards from his time bringing Lex Luthor to life.

One of the galaxy's biggest stars is the focus of an auction to benefit a pretty big cause.

It's a 2016 Topps Star Wars Masterwork silver-framed auto of Daisy Ridley -- and only 10 copies of the card were made. The card was pulled in an episode of Box Busters and is being sold by Beckett Auctions to benefit a charity fighting cancer.

One of television's female icons has died.

Mary Tyler Moore was 80 years old and died Wednesday after a recent health scare that had her hospitalized for the last week.

"A groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile,” said Mara Buxbaum, Moore's representative, to The Huffington Post.

Her iconic roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show helped change how women were seen on television -- but you won't find a number of certified autographs to help collectors remember her place in entertainment history.

The recently released Star Trek 50th Anniversary set includes plenty of ink with two autographs and a memorabilia card in every box but there are some interesting surprises inside the product as a whole.

Each 12-box case is guaranteed to include one of five Captain's Autograph cards from the five leaders at the helm on each of the past TV shows -- William Shatner as James T. Kirk, Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, Avery Brooks as Benjamin Sisko, Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway and Scott Bakula as Jonathan Archer.

But that's not all of note in this one if you look closely at the checklist.

The announcement shouldn't be too surprising as Ahmed was mentioned to be forthcoming as part of the Star Wars Authentics autograph program that Topps revealed on Dec. 21.
